On October 6, Terry Smith launches his second publication, Talking Contemporary Curating, as part of ICI’s series Perspectives in Curating. For this program, Terry Smith will be speaking with Kate Fowle (Chief Curator, Garage Museum of Contemporary Art and Director-at-Large, ICI) and Jens Hoffmann (Deputy Director, Exhibitions and Programs, The Jewish Museum). The conversation will be moderated by Leigh Markopoulos (Chair of the Graduate Program in Curatorial Practice, California College of the Arts).

About Talking Contemporary Curating
The dozen searching conversations conducted by art historian Terry Smith in Talking Contemporary Curating––with Carolyn Christov-Bakargiev, Claire Bishop, Zdenka Badovinac, Mami Kataoka, Mari Carmen Ramírez, Okwui Enwezor, Germano Celant, Jens Hoffmann, Hans Ulrich Obrist, Maria Lind, Zoe Butt, and Boris Groys––provide a vivid sense of contemporary curatorial discourse at work. Read together, they present a fascinating picture of how curating can contribute toward a broader understanding of our contemporary world.


This event is free and open to the public. To attend, please RSVP to rsvp@curatorsintl.org with TCC in the subject line.
